| | Woodex Bearing company is the manufacturer of MECO custom-engineered shaft seals for rotating processing machinery. The company is located on scenic Georgetown Island, on the coast of Maine.
MECO Custom Shaft Seals are used worldwide in bulk materials processing applications. Industries served include chemical, food, pharmaceutical, mineral, plastics, primary metals and pulp & paper. An extensive distributor network provides hands-on support with shaft measurement, installation and rebuilding of MECO seals. MECO engineers provide telephone consultation and trouble-shooting for sealing problems of all sorts, and even make the occasional "house call" to ensure the seals' success.
Woodex, a line of oil-impregnated maple bearings and wear strips, was first established in 1905. The company's present ownership dates to 1980. In 1984, Woodex became the exclusive manufacturer and marketing agent for MECO shaft seals. While continually advancing its MECO seal product line through R & D, Woodex continues to manufacture wood bearings, on "the cutting edge of low technology". Woodex bearings are fully-split, shimless oil-impregnated maple plane bearings for screw conveyors, roll conveyors and other equipment. | |
